| Note:
Estimates do not include youth who dropped out of school and therefore may
not reflect total national percentages. |
| 1Sexually
experienced is defined as ever having had sexual intercourse in one’s
lifetime. |
| 2Race/ethnicity
estimates from 1999 and later are not directly comparable to earlier years
due to federal changes in race definitions. In surveys conducted in 1999
and later, respondents were allowed to select more than one race when
selecting their racial category. Estimates presented only include
respondents who selected one category when choosing their race. |
